A higher-than-usual number of cases of a type of heart inflammation called myocarditis has been reported following Covid-19 vaccination. This occurs especially among young men following their second dose of an mRNA vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Overall, 226 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis after vaccination in people younger than age 30 have been confirmed. CDC said that further investigation is needed, however, to confirm whether the vaccination was the cause of the heart problem. Normally, fewer than 100 cases would be expected for this age group so that's twice as many cases than what's considered average. Teenagers and people in their early 20s accounted for more than half of the myocarditis cases reported to the CDC's safety monitoring systems following Covid-19 vaccination. The docs then went on to say that the benefit of this vaccine far outweighs the risk, but shouldn't we be questioning this since young people are much less likely to get a serious case of this virus than older, more frail people? Something like this should always be a choice, not a mandate! nbcnews.com

Why should you exercise regularly? It strengthens your bones. Exercise increases bone density, helping prevent osteoporosis. High-intensity activity, like jumping and running, is most beneficial for preserving bone mass. shape.com

A recent study from the Veterans Administration (VA) looked at the relationship between chiropractic care and opioid consumption in returning veterans. Of the14,000 individuals who had received at least one chiropractic adjustment they found that: One third of these patients were prescribed an opioid within six months of their chiropractic visit; Patients were more likely to be prescribed an opiate if they had moderate to severe pain; They were also more likely to receive an opiate if they had PTSD or depression. The chiropractic patients, though, had a significantly lower usage of opiates after their chiropractic visits compared to non-chiropractic patients. From the authors: "The percentage of veterans receiving opioid prescriptions was lower in each of the three 30-day time frames assessed after the chiropractic visit than before." Other studies show that chiropractic patients are less likely to use opiates and in areas where there are more chiropractors per capita, younger, disabled Medicare beneficiaries were less likely to obtain an opioid prescription. Another 2018 study found that chiropractic patients had a 55% lower chance of using opioids than did medical patients. It's clear that we need healthy, non-addictive solutions to chronic pain in the US. It seems that chiropractic can play an important role in helping these patients. chironexus.net
